<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="SK"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In our experiment we have studied interaction of ionizing radiation and zinc at <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Poecilia reticulata. </em>Fish were irradiated with a&nbsp;20 Gy of gamma-rays. Zinc sulphate in concentration 25 mg.l^-1 was added to water in aquarium. Food intake, clinicl symptoms and histological changes were followed after gamma-irradiation and zinc sulfid in guppy <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Poecilia reticulata</em>. In the first days timidity and lethargy were observed. The most prominent clinical symptoms observed were emaciation, hampered breathing and haemorrhages. Histological findings corresponded with these symptoms.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="SK"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong><br />doi:10.5219/228</strong></span></span></p>
